Splenectomy for wandering splenomegaly in a patient with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: A case report of a rare association.

• The absence or malformations of splenic suspensory ligaments attaching the spleen to the diaphragm, colon, and retroperitoneum is the major cause of wandering spleen (WS). • Diagnosis is often an occasional finding during radiological exams. • Conservative treatment may lead to high complications. Thus, surgery with organopexy is the standard gold treatment. However, the preserving treatment is debatable in WS associated with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura.
